This title was first published in 2000: United States economic
assistance programs in Latin America have been frequently
restructured during the course of the past four decades. This book
examines the evolution of US aid to the region, describes and
explains US aid to the region since 1960. Focus is placed on four
successive initiatives, the Alliance of Progress for the 1960s, the
New Directions Mandate of the 1970s, the Private Enterprise
Initiative of the 1980s and the Democracy Initiative of the 1990s.
Empirical examples of actual programs, drawn from primary source
documents, are used to illustrate more general propositions. The
primary objectives of this study are to describe and explain US
assistance policy toward Latin America during the past four decades
and account for changes in the aid regime over time. Such
assistance is typically linked to either the developmental needs of
recipient countries, or the economic interests of transnational
corporations.
The United Nations has increased its worldwide efforts to promote
sustainable development. In this book, noted scholar Francis Adams
examines the United Nations' actions in Latin America, particularly
in light of meeting basic human needs, promoting gender equity, and
preserving natural environments. While previous books have focused
on a single UN agency, this book is the first to analyze the
development work of various UN institutions and agencies that
sponsor economic and social programs in the developing world as
well as the UN's various funding initiatives, global conferences,
and institutional goals. This book will be a necessary addition for
students and scholars of Latin American politics and Development.

This book examines the global campaign to end hunger and
malnutrition. Focus is placed on the work of the United Nations
which has led international efforts to improve food security in the
world's poorest countries. The book first reviews the long-term
project to establish access to safe, sufficient, and nutritious
food as a universally recognized human right. This is followed by
separate chapters that examine the nature and central causes of
food insecurity in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and
Asia. These chapters also review the contemporary work of three
United Nations agencies - the World Food Programme, Food and
Agriculture Organization, and International Fund for Agricultural
Development - in providing both food aid and food assistance to
each region of the developing world. This includes the provision of
emergency food aid in response to natural disaster and civil
conflict, as well as longer-term food assistance to promote
agricultural productivity, advance rural development, and preserve
natural environments. The concluding chapter considers ways to
strengthen food aid and assistance in the years to come, with many
of the recommendations advanced reflecting lessons learned from the
actual experience of food aid and assistance described in this
book.

From the late 1950s to the late 1960s the word 'Pop' described any
example of art, film, photography and architectural design that
engaged with the new realities of mass production and the mass
media. In addition to key artworks by Andy Warhol, Roy
Lichtenstein, Ed Ruscha, Richard Hamilton and many others, this
book includes works of photography and avant-garde film, as well as
what the critic Reyner Banham defined as pop architecture, ranging
from Alison and Peter Smithson's House of the Future to Archigram's
Walking City and Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's Learning
from Las Vegas.
Edited by an internationally recognized expert on Pop art and
culture, this book surveys Pop across all artforms and gives equal
coverage to its American, British and European manifestations.
Survey: renowned scholar and critic Hal Foster focuses on the Pop
image as it developed over the period: Reyner Banham, The
Independent Group and Pop Design; Richard Hamilton and the Tabular
Image; Roy Lichtenstein and the Screened Image; Andy Warhol and the
Seamy Image; Gerhard Richter and the Photogenic Image; Ed Ruscha
and the Cineramic Image; and, Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown
and the Postmodern Absorption of Pop. Works: each image is
accompanied by an extended caption. This section is chronologically
sequenced: Revolt into Style (1956-60) surveys the birth of Pop
culture and its images, including the American Beat generation
artists, photographers and filmmakers; Jasper Johns and Robert
Rauschenberg, the French Decollageistes, Richard Hamilton and the
'British Pop' of the Independent Group. Consumer Culture (1960-63)
chronicles American Pop's explosion, from Roy Lichtenstein's
cartoon-based paintings to Claes Oldenburg's Store and Andy
Warhol's Factory. Colonization of the Mind (1963-66) looks at
American Pop's reception in Europe, in the work of Gerhard Richter,
Sigmar Polke and others. Spectacular Time (1966-67) surveys late
Pop developments, from Warhol's Silver Clouds to Malcolm Morley's
Photorealism. Helter Skelter (1968) documents Pop's demise and
transformation into postmodernism, in projects such as Robert
Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's Learning from Las Vegas.
